You have upheld the traditions of your school magnificently. In such times as this, the English language seems utterly inadequate. To say that we we are proud of you, is just a masterpiece of understatement. Probably after all, simplicity is the conveyor of greatest sincerity. XX7itf1 this in mind, then, knowing that you will understand all that it means, we simply say: Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, and God bless you.
